Editorial Workflows

New OmniFocus Project

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: This Workflow accepts TaskPaper text with «placeholder» tokens and prompts for you to enter final values, then creates a project in OmniFocus 2.14 for iOS using those tokens.

For example, given this input:

- «project_name» @parallel(false) @due(«due»)
- This task needs to be done at least 1 week before «project_name» is due @due(«due» -1w)
- This task needs to be done at least 2 days before «project_name» is due @due(«due» -2d)

You'll be prompted to enter values for «project_name» and «due». If you enter "Phonewave 1.2" and "next Thursday", it will create a new "Phonewave 1.2" project in OmniFocus that is due next Thursday, and has two tasks already filled with due dates of this Thursday and next Tuesday.
